Nice interview with the Peter team over at The Graphics Factory on 2nd Avenue. Owned and operated by Peter Wienold and and Pete Lapins the business has been in existence since 1989. The Peter's bought the business in 1993 moving it to its present site about 11 years later (~2004). Peter W. is the GM of the business and is a proud Port Alberni resident since the age of 7 years. That's a LONG time ago - right Peter! He is a well-known individual in the Port Alberni Arts scene especially with respect to the Portal Players Dramatic Society and previous to that the AV Musical Theatre. Peter spent many years in local radio and also spent time as the ED for the Chamber of Commerce. Following that he was a Director with the Chamber for many years as well. Peter's real passion is the PPDS with his two favourite highlights being the production led by him of Patsy Cline in 2015 and the recent Musical Memories which just completed a wonderful run at the Capitol theatre. Peter loves Port Alberni and defines as many do as "The Community with a Heart." He continues to be amazed at the volunteer level throughout Port Alberni - a comment made by many people. He is an outdoor enthusiast who loves to pack up his trailer and hit campgrounds. The Graphics Factory itself is a major presence in Port Alberni and as you can see by the pictures included they have top end equipment that is capable of handling most any print job out there. The Chamber of Commerce thanks Peter and Pete for their ongoing support of many Chamber initiatives including the annual Community Excellence Awards where they sponsor the Customer Service Award - see the picture noted
